Connected Manufacturing - the software for your tool management

When it comes to machining, transparent tool management, more efficient production processes and more productive employees are key to retaining your competitive edge

More productive employees

Proven results in day-to-day work:


Schüßler Modell- & Prototypenbau GmbH revamped its working time models, moving away from shift work to letting employees choose their working hours and work from home arrangements for themselves. The result: a sharp increase in the employees’ flexibility and independence, and a working model that ultimately went down very well.

Higher production capacity

Proven results in day-to-day work:


Ever since Schüßler Modell- & Prototypenbau GmbH introduced Connected Manufacturing, it has seen improvements in all aspects of the production process, including:
  • Around 20% less downtime, corresponding to roughly 60 hours each month
  • Workflows are 55% more effective in conjunction with the GARANT automation solution, enabling the number of machines to be reduced from 6 to 3.
  • Reworking rate reduced from 33% to less than 22%
  • 15% fewer rejects
In the case of Mühlhoff Umformechnik GmbH, an analysis was run to determine how the use of digital solutions affected the spindle runtime. To this end, the results before and after the introduction of Connected Manufacturing were compared. By changing over to Connected Manufacturing as the data management solution and using CAM programming and automated machinery, the company saw 33% higher utilisation of the spindle runtime across all machines used.

Lower tool costs

Proven results in day-to-day work:


Thanks to Connected Manufacturing, Schüßler Modell- & Prototypenbau GmbH increased its tool utilisation rate by 25%, significantly cutting its tool costs accordingly.
